On the road to Ballarat. Plan to camp to the north of Ballarat where I'll meet the others later tonight.
Camp the next morning. Sooz, Chip and Robin are where. Cori, Tom G and Tom B headed up Pleasant Canyon last night so they could get a early start for their hike to Sentinel Peak.

Old truck along side the road.
Pleasant Canyon has a lot of wild burros that are descendants of the miner's working burros.
I dropped off Sooz, Chip and Robin on this saddle for their hiked to Porter and Morrmon Peaks.

They head off on their hike and I'll drive to the start of my hike to Slim's Peak.
Driving up the World Beater Mine Road.
Looking down into Pleasant Canyon from the saddle from where I'll start my hike from. Was surprised that the road climbed up this far. The topo map showed it ending about a 1000 feet below.
